Abstract

The display panel 21 comprises a light guide plate 2, a second plate 4 and a movable element 3 between both plates, for locally coupling light out of the light guide plate 2. Voltages applied to electrodes 5, 6 and 25 locally bring the movable element 3 into contact with the light guide plate 2 or the second plate 4. Means for reducing sticking of the movable element 3 to the plates comprise a roughness R1 at the contact surface 14 of the light guide plate 2 facing the movable element 3, a roughness R2 at the contact surface 15 of the movable element 3 facing the light guide plate 2, a roughness R3 at the contact surface 16 of the second plate 4 facing the movable element 3 and a roughness R4 at the contact surface 17 of the movable element 3 facing the second plate 4. The roughnesses R1 and R2 are smaller than at least one of the roughnesses R3 and R4. By virtue thereof, sticking is reduced and the display panel 21 requires relatively little energy to be operated.

To adjust whether light is coupled to the image element, an image is representative of it. Roughness R1 and R2 appear on the contact surface of the optical waveguide plate facing the movable element, in order to reduce the viscosity of the van der Was force to reduce the adhesion of the movable element to the light wave ‘the adhesion of the plate | ±. Roughness is defined as the range over which the surface contour is restricted, as measured by an atomic force microscope. It is known that if at least one roughness ri and R2 is larger than 5 nm, the van der Waals force can be greatly reduced. On the other hand, if the roughness R1 and R2 are larger than i00nm, the optical contact between the movable element and the optical waveguide plate is low IV ', so that the light is severely reduced outside the optical waveguide plate. In addition, an anti-adhesion layer is provided between the optical waveguide plate and the movable element and between the movable element and the first plate. These layers reduce the adhesion between the movable element and the boards by reducing the strength of the chemical adhesion force. The electrodes on the surface of the two plates facing the movable 7L piece are separated by a thickness of one micron, and the taste layer is separated from the common electrode on the movable element. These insulating layers appear on the electrodes on the light wave V plate and on the second plate to prevent direct electrical contact with the common electrode on the movable element. This insulating layer represents the contact surface of the board. Therefore, the contact surface facing one of the other members, whether covered by this layer or not, can make direct electrical contact with the other members. The disadvantage of "β 4" is that it requires a considerable amount of energy in order to 'contact the optical waveguide with the movable element after power is applied to the electrode. Therefore, it is known that the panel requires considerable energy during operation.' The purpose of the present invention is to provide a display panel mentioned in the first paragraph, which requires relatively little energy to operate. (3) (3) 200409067 This purpose is achieved because the device for reducing adhesion still includes a The roughness R3 is on the contact surface of the second plate, and the roughness R4 is on the second contact element of the movable element. Both the roughness 111 and R2 are smaller than at least one roughness R3 and R4. The inventor believes that the voltage is applied to In the month b where the optical waveguide plate is in contact with the movable element on the electrode, if the rough chain degree appears on the contact surface of the second plate facing the movable element, and the roughness R4 appears on the movable element facing the second plate It is smaller when contacting the surface. If at least one roughness R3 and R4 is greater than 5 nm, the van der Waals force between the second plate and the movable element can be greatly reduced, resulting in the display panel requiring a relatively small amount of energy to make the optical waveguide plate Bureau of Movable Components The contact only considers seeing the gas force, and there is no reason to make the slackness reverse 3 and & 4 exceed $ nm. However, the inventor further believes that the roughness and the pressure difference between the second plate and the movable element can affect The attracting power between the second plate and the movable element. This attracting power is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the electrode on the second plate and the common electrode on the movable element. With the second plate and the movable element, it is sticky through surface contact. From-on, this one attracts considerable electricity. To separate it, this relatively large attracting electricity must be Kayuki g 杳 · m L # ,, it is even difficult to remove the voltage to remove this. Attract electric power. If the distance between the second plate and the movable element is large, the movable element and the second plate will not stick together due to surface contact, that is, the contact surfaces will contact each other at the most protruding tip to protect each surface or The surface is thus easy to separate. It is very obvious that the voltage difference between the electrode on the movable element and the light guide plate that prevents contact is quite large if the movable element is closely adhered to the second plate. The roughness is used to face the movable Of the components On the contact surface of the second plate, and on the contact surface of the movable element facing the second plate by using the thick chain degree, the attracted power between the smaller movable element and the second plate, such as 200409067 (4) The movable element and The second plate contact must be overcome to terminate this contact. This attraction power cannot be ignored when the roughness R3 and R4 are less than 5 nm, and other roughness is equal to 5 nm. The roughness greater than 5 nm can terminate the energy of this contact In fact, the maximum roughness is limited by the space between the light wave and the second plate, and the space can be reduced by the thickness of the movable element. &Quot; The voltage is applied between the movable element and the second plate. The relatively small attraction power induced by the electrode and the second plate on the movable element, such as the contact between the movable element and the second plate 'caused by the voltage induction of the electrode and the optical waveguide plate applied to the movable element' and the termination of this contact The required power required will be quite small, with little impact on change and easy to control. In one embodiment of the display panel of the present invention, at least one roughness R] and R4 is greater than 100 nm, and two R3 and R4 are less than 1000 nm. The electrodes on the surface facing the two plates of the movable element are covered by an insulating layer having a thickness of about one micrometer. This insulating layer represents the contact surface of the board. When the roughness is less than 100 nm, it is difficult to reduce the power to be overcome, because the roughness is very small compared to the thickness of the insulating layer. For larger roughness values, the power to be overcome can be greatly reduced. If the roughness is greater than 1000 nm, it cannot be ignored compared with the distance of about four micrometers between the two plates. This distance can be reduced by reducing the thickness of the movable element. The distance is about one or two micrometers. In another embodiment of the display panel of the present invention, the roughness R2 is greater than the roughness R1, and the roughness R4 is greater than the roughness R3. Both the optical waveguide plate and the second plate have a smooth contact surface, which is easy to implement in the production process. In addition, the optical waveguide characteristics of an optical waveguide plate will increase as its surface smoothness increases. In the modification of the last embodiment, the roughness R 2 is in the range of 5 nm to 100 nm. 200409067 (5) It is issued that the roughness R4 is in the range of 100 nm to 1000 nm. These ranges are the preferred roughness ranges that appear in a movable element. In addition, when the roughness 114 is 100 to 1000 nm, the isotropy of the emitted light in the image element is very large. ′ It is ideal if at least one roughness R2 and R4 is protruded from the inorganic of the movable element. When the movable element is in contact with a plate, the inorganic substance is not prone to be affected by the elasticity and / or plastic deformation caused by Van der Was force. Therefore, it is possible to prevent elasticity and / or plastic deformation caused by van der Was viscosity. For example, if a volume of movable element includes a matrix layer selected from the group consisting of amorphous glass and crystalline polymer layers, it is occupied by Ti02 particles in a volume of 1-25%, and its diameter is between 200 and 400 nm, and An indium tin oxide layer is more preferred. The matrix layer may be in a non-crystalline glass state, a crystalline state, or a mixed amorphous glass / crystalline state so that the hardness of the polymer material is similar to that of the crystalline organic material. These matrix layers are Parylene, methyl polymethacrylate, fluoropolymer, and polysulfite layers. These materials are not susceptible to plastic deformation and / or creep. The movable element can have a surface roughness in the range of about 30-50 nm on the surface facing the optical waveguide plate. For example, the surface of the movable element is made of Ti02 particles and the roughness of the surface facing the second plate is 1 °. (Ki00nm range. The thickness of the movable element can be between one or two microns. The conductive ITO layer represents a common electrode across the entire surface of the movable element in order to apply a voltage to the movable element. The IT0 layer is transparent to prevent light emitted from the contact surface between the light guide plate and the contact surface from being absorbed. The preferred thickness of the IT0 layer is about 30-50 nm. The light extracted by the movable element from the optical waveguide is scattered by :Such as

The electrodes 5 and 6 are covered by the insulating layers 10 and η to prevent direct electrical contact between the common electrode on the movable element] and the electrodes 5 and 6. The insulating layer 10 such as the common electrode 25 on the optical waveguide plate 2 is unnecessary on the side facing the movable element 3 of the second plate 4. When an appropriate voltage is applied to the electrodes 5 and 6 and the common electrode 25 on the movable element 3, electric power F is generated, and this force compresses the movable element 3 against the electrode 5 on the optical waveguide plate 2. The electrode is transparent and consists of IT0. The contact between the movable element 3 and the optical waveguide plate 2 causes light to leave the optical waveguide plate 2 and enter the movable element 3 at the contact position. In the movable element 3, light is scattered and leaves the display panel 21 through the transparent electrode 5 and the optical waveguide plate 2. The presence of the roughness R1 on the contact surface 14 of the optical waveguide plate 2 facing the movable element and the roughness R2 on the contact surface 15 of the movable element 3 facing the optical waveguide plate 2 can reduce the movable element 3 and the optical waveguide plate. 2 of the adhesion.

Preferably, at least one of the roughnesses R3 and R4 is greater than 1000 nm and two of the roughnesses R3 and R4 are less than 1000 nm. For example, the roughness R2 is greater than the roughness ri and the roughness R4 is greater than the roughness R3. And the second plate 4 may have a smooth contact surface facing the movable element 3, which is easily realized in the manufacturing process. In particular, the preferred range of roughness appears on the contact surface of the movable element 3 facing the optical waveguide plate 2 and the second plate 4: the roughness R2 is in the range of 5-100 nm, and the roughness R3 is in the range of 100-1000 nm. . -12- 200409067
